   That's what happened to us. Huge difference for us between Skype chat (no hook with Github)/paper todos and Hipchat (which tells us about new stuff onGithub)/Trello. But the best way to experience it is to try the tools :)

   It is unfortunately not competitive with trading desks which ask for the same kind of skills. It is a vicious circle : software companies pay less, good programmers go to banks, software companies get bad programmers and so feel they don't

   Our registrar (gandi.net) allows us to edit the zone file, something I find much simpler than most GUIs out there.

   I agree with you that if you want to be a full-fledged programmer you will need to understand this topic beyond this simple example, but at the time I really could have used it as a starting point.

   It does seem paradoxical, but I know quite a few people I consider to be good coders, but know almost nothing about DNS. For example, a former researcher in CS who now wants to launch his webstartup.

   That's true, I should have been clearer in my introduction: this really is a guide for beginners. The goal here was to show a simple zone file example and go through it, so that someone who never set up a DNS could do it in 10 minutes. That

    I explained the key ideas behind Mogo and not another program because it is the one I worked on, and know well. It is true though that I could also have mentionned Coulom's Crazy Stone. About your second point - there is indeed some expert

    I especially agree with your first point. In Go, I often play moves just because I find them beautiful. Even in life-or-death situations, I begin by finding the "most beautiful" moves :)

    That's what I really like about Go. You always need to balance short-term greed and captures against vision. There is also the balance between keeping your groups strong and claiming a lot of territory.

    The key difference is the philosophy behind both games. In Chess, the goal is to capture the king, destroying his army in the process. In Go, the goal is to build a territory, destroying is not necessary (smany games finish with very few ca
